Part Four: A Woman's Healing Hands
Kent was looking very irritable at the moment... Although he was now back at the army encampment, the knight was currently sitting on a cot in the healer's tent, his arms folded stiffly in front of him. Both his boots have been removed, revealing a bandage wrapped around his right ankle.
As Kent continued to fume, Sain entered the tent, causing the injured cavelier to glare at him.
"Hey, Kent! I heard about your injury," Sain told his fellow knight, in a sympathetic tone. "How are you feeling?"
Kent didn't reply... It was only then that Sain noticed his friend's dark mood.
"Say, why are you so upset?" asked the cavelier, curiously. "Lady Lyndis told me she practically carried you over to the healer's tent, because she felt partly responsible for you falling out of that tree." He shot his friend a sly wink. "You must've loved that, eh?"
"Sain..." warned Kent, dangerously.
"And I heard all three of the pegasus knight sisters came to see you, you lucky dog..." added Sain, with a nudge.
"But... That was just because Florina wanted to apologize for causing my fall," explained the other knight, wearily. "She only brought her sisters along, because she's still a bit uncomfortable about being alone with men..." Sain continued to speak, oblivious to his friend's words.
"And then having both beautiful healers fawn over you..." The cavelier sighed in envy. "What I wouldn't give to be in your place..."
"That can be arranged..." said Kent, darkly.
Sain raised his hands in surprise. "Whoa! Calm down there, Kent...!"
"Why should I?" snapped Kent, finally losing his temper. "What about my duty to Lady Lyndis, huh? I may miss the next battle, thanks to you and your stupid scroll!"
"Hey!" exclaimed Sain, sounding hurt. "I didn't ask you to read it up in a tree, did I?" he pointed out.
At those words, Kent fell silent... Realizing his friend's dismay, Sain continued in a reasonable tone.
"Look... Both the fair Serra and the beautious Priscilla told me that all you had was a couple of bruises and a twisted ankle... All you need to do is keep off it for a day, and it should be fine," he explained reassuringly. "Missing a day of battle won't kill you..."
"I... Suppose you're right," admitted Kent. "I'm sorry for blowing up at you... You were really just trying to help me out, after all..."
"Hey, that's all right, old friend," replied Sain, cheerfully. He then elbowed the other cavelier knowingly.
"Say... Did you get to the part of my scroll on battle wounds, yet? It's really appropriate to your situation, at the moment..."
"Um... This isn't exactly a battle wound..." Kent pointed out.
"True... But the principle is still the same. Where did you put the scroll?"
Kent sighed. "Here..." He pulled a roll of parchment out of his breastplate. "I managed to hide it, before any of the ladies caught a glimpse of it..."
Sain patted him on the back, proudly. "Good man! We'll make a playboy out of you, yet!" he exclaimed. Kent rolled his eyes, as his friend unrolled the scroll to the appropriate spot.

Chapter 3: Battle Scars... The Marks of Valour!
Should you be unfortunate enough to fall in battle, recount your exploits to the beautiful maidens who heal your wounds... Your words will fall upon sympathetic ears, for those of the healing profession are gentle and sweet, and possess hands that are soft to the touch...
&&&
"'Gentle and sweet', huh?" interrupted Kent. "Obviously, you've never talked to Serra..."
"Ah, the lovely Serra..." Sain sighed to himself. "She told me that she examined your bruises..." The cavelier then gave his friend a sly look.
"Incidently... She also mentioned that you have the cutest little backsid--"
"SAIN!!" cried Kent, mortified.
"Hey, she said it, not me!" protested Sain. "Besides you should be flattered... And grateful you didn't fall into a thorn bush..."
Kent found himself at a loss for words, yet again... His fellow knight then nudged him, to get his attention.
"Hey Kent," Sain told him, pointing down at the parchment. "You haven't finished reading this section yet..."
&&&
I encourage you to contact one of these fair healers, should you be afflicted with any ailment... No matter how small or minor the injury might be, they will surely come to your aid, because of their generous, caring nature.
&&&
As soon as the two caveliers finished reading the paragraph, the healer known as Serra poked her head into the tent; Sain quickly and tactfully stuffed his scroll back into Kent's armour.
"So, how's our little patient doing?" asked Serra, in a falsely considerate tone.
Kent sighed heavily. "Fine..." he told her.
"Good!" she answered brightly. "Just wanted to make sure your bandages haven't loosened," said the cleric to Kent... "Then Lord Hector will know what a good job I'm doing...!" she told herself, smugly.
"I'll... Ah, leave you two alone, then..." Sain said slowly. The cavelier grinned knowingly at his friend, and then exited the tent. Kent looked dismayed by this.
"Hey! Sain, wait!" he protested.
"Now, now, just relax..." began Serra, in what she thought was a soothing tone. The cleric walked up to Kent's bedside, and examined his twisted ankle. "Let me change that bandage of yours..."
"You're... Not going to check on my bruises again, are you?" asked the knight warily.
"Not unless you want me to," answered the cleric. Serra winked at the cavelier, which caused him to blush. "Hee hee! Sain is right, you are fun to tease!" she giggled. "You're so uptight, just like Erk..."
Kent rolled his eyes skywards. "Heaven help me..."
"Hey, I do the prayers around here, pal!" she retorted. Serra giggled at her own joke, as the knight groaned to himself... The cleric then began to rewrap Kent's ankle.

Notes: Just you know, my favourite Fire Emblem character is Kent (even if I do do semi-horrible things to him in this story)... I also love all of his official pairings: Kent/Lyn, Kent/Fiora, Kent/Farina... (Yes, even the unofficial Kent/Sain one.) Although to be honest, I'd rather keep him for myself... (Hugs a startled Kent)
Sain: Hey, let me have some fun, too! (Dashes over to hug Avi)
(Lyn enters, and drags Sain away by his collar. As an afterthought, she re-enters and drags away Avi, too.)
Avi: Eh, it was worth a shot...
